3rd NATIONAL PRODUCT STEWARSHIP FORUM SAN FRANCISCO, CA – May 30-31, 2007 PRODUCT STEWARDSHIP FORUM POLICY BRAINSTORM Education/Outreach Need to do a better job at telling the product stewardship story. Need a solid image of how it looks/operates, but allow for flexibility! Got to get the message to the public! Build a tent called “stewardship.” Need qualitative change of mindset—inclusive and cooperative Educate consumers through existing programs Educate leaders on benefit of EPR Develop tools for outreach/presentations, i.e. Al Gore’s video Bring product stewardship to Climate Change actions Ask industry/retailer to inform/educate their customers about stewardship ½ hour TV show, pooled resources to fund public education ECO labeling Create a third party product certification to empower/inform consumers Identify/Establish Examples Need some successes to point to. Examples that include re-design, ex. Patagonia using plastic bottles for clothing Use state’s momentum on EPR (CIWMB Strategic Directive #5) and growing local support for EPR (CPSC, RCRC) to demonstrate broad based support for EPR Develop marketing packet on successes of EPR programs Isolate high impact items in rural areas Standards Create baseline for health and resource protection Develop strategy for environmental organizations to embrace product stewardship Broad solutions across products/industries Learn more about the process from ideas to product roll-out, then identify where to establish and require that every product has a “planned end-of-life” Establish and champion standards via local states purchasing contracts, etc. Models PSI should develop model policy to help leadership at state level understand and support PS solutions Develop model product stewardship framework legislation Clearinghouse of existing legislation or models Economic Incentives/Regulation Create market-based solutions Partnerships—private and public—work w/industry to develop economical take-back systems; emphasize economic benefit to business; voluntary take-back Use power of federal purchasing contracts to foster EPR Show shift from MSW fee base to manufacturers’ fee base Invest in green companies and funds Get buy-in from manufacturers by showing all benefits to decrease resistance Restructure product liability Push consumers through increased cost for improper disposal Design incentive mechanisms for market instruments towards product stewardship, i.e. preferential loans/tuitions Mandatory take-back, performance goals, registration—level competition; review reporting; regulatory framework Regulations (emphasize economic benefits of increase in customers) Communication/Collaboration PSI should convene a forum on how to insert PS into R&D PSI meeting on pharmaceuticals (specific product categories) PSI should approach trade associations Work with early adopters and supporters in industry, (e.g., 20 firms Governor on Climate Change) Pool resources Need economists, sociologists, historians in dialog. Need to learn from history and cultural change Find common ground among municipalities Cooperation is the model. Build relationships with up and coming leaders so that people are primed to act when the moment is right Collaborate among product stewardship councils for National and international impact Regional collaboration Form regional product stewardship councils Keep creating relationships/connecting with each other Increase communication within product stewardship channels 2 Product Stewardship Institute, Inc. PSI National Forum – Policy Brainstorm May 31, 2007 Legislation Government represents the people/the common good. Pendulum is shifting. Can reinstate concept of the safety net. Government legislation must be the push for change. Work with legislation, bring lawmakers to table Regulation is not a dirty word. Regulation and authorizations necessary for product stewardship. Enforcement Work from bottom up Joining of diverse forces to push from below Local EPR ordinances to foster consistent statewide policy Miscellaneous PSI should convene forum on alternatives to capitalism PSI supports Precautionary Principle PSI supports Precautionary Principle in development of nanotechnology (and product stewardship principles) Safer alternatives New ways to manage waste 3 Product Stewardship Institute, Inc.
